Wendy is wonderful. I appreciate all of her help and guidance. I also like the little message she sends me to help with day to day reflections. She goes above and beyond.
The very best.
Wendy has given me skills and helped me immensely through a really hard time. I have been able to change the way that I view different events and aspects of my life and have a better understanding of my path. Thank you so much Wendy!!
Wendy is authentic and genuine in her approach. She provides a safe, non judgement space to tackle the good, bad, and the ugly!
Wendy is knowledgeable, skilled in her profession, and a very good listener. She provides tangible tools and approaches that I can use to help myself grow.
Wendy has literally helped save my life since I started therapy with her. She listens, empathizes, and is firm in her belief in me. The most supportive provider I’ve had or known.
Wendy is compassionate and really gives you tools to help everyday tasks. It's really helping manage my anxiety and depression.
Wendy is amazing and helped me through some of the hardest times in my life.
I've only had one session with Wendy so far, and this is my first time doing therapy. So to immediately find someone who not only listens to your problems and knows how to have fun, but also know how to give you ways to better yourself and control aspects of your life that are out of hand is so refreshing! I am definitely staying with her until I feel I no longer need therapy
Wendy is the best, you will feel like a more confident and capable parent after speaking with her.
Wendy is the best! she is so kind and really makes you feel cared for. She is honest and offers lots of great advice and techniques for dealing with issues.
Wendy Ludlow is a good therapist and she has a good soul.
Wendy has been of a tremendous help for me, she is very cunning and wise. I do really recommend her to anyone in need of help.
Wendy is sympathetic but honest, which is so important in a therapist. To know when to be supportive and when to hold someone accountable
Enenthough I’ve only had 1 sees ion with Wendy she seems to be to me a very empathetic , good hearted , caring person.
She listens attentively and is very non judgmental , I look forward to more sessions with her to continue my healing!
Wendy is an excellent therapist. She brings amazing insight. I have learned a lot about myself. She asks very relevant questions causing me to think and look deeper.
Wendy is very calming and down to earth. She is great at listening and great with her responses.
I've had one session with Wendy So far, and I've really enjoyed it. She responds to my messages quickly, and genuinely wants to hear what I have to say. I've appreciated all her suggestions and have genuinely enjoyed therapy with her.
She listens to me and gives me advice
I'm 24. I have had a hand full of counselors in my early years and I never felt I got anything from them. It had been nearly 10 years since I had seen a counselor. I had held the idea the counseling wasn't for me but, I was wanting help and decided I would try counseling again. Wendy made me realize that counseling can actually be helpful. 1st time I got anything from counseling was with Wendy and I'm grateful.
Wendy is great - responsive, attentive and has good advice to offer as appropriate.
In the few years of therapy I've had, Wendy has been one of the two only therapists who made me feel understood and actually helped me. I wanted help with my body image issues, understanding how to deal with my helicopter parents, and managing anxious thoughts and Wendy was always there to listen and offer support. I seriously enjoy the exercises we leave for the end of the session for me to practice doing until our next session, it helps turn what we talked about in therapy info actions in real life. If you feel like you haven't found someone you click with yet on Better Help, definitely give Wendy a shot. She's funny, insightful, and overall a wonderful soul.
So far I have been extremely happy with Wendy. I was a bit nervous trying counselling at first, but she really put me at ease and I feel very comfortable talking to her. She listens and understands very well and above just providing advice she’s given me lots of tools to help work on and ground myself in tough situations. She has helped me better understand some of my issues and how to approach them in a healthy way.
Wendy was great help during crisis mode.
Wendy has been really great. She is thoughtful and helpful and responds very quickly. She had a lot of knowledge to offer in the line of relationships with significant others and children.
Wendy has been attentive, informative, and seems to understand my issues. For someone who has been as skeptical about counseling as I have been, this has been a very favorable experience...
Wendy "gets me." She raises great questions and is not hesitant to jump in with ideas and options. A great, no a critically important new relationship with lots of self learning opportunity.
I have found Wendy incredibly easy to talk to the few times we have spoken. Counseling was difficult for me to seek, and going through the list of counsellors I spotted Wendy and she just stood out to me as someone who would "get" me. I'm thankful for the conversations we have had so far!
Wendy has a lovely positive energy.
Wendy has been open and accepting of my alternative lifestyle, while helping me to work through past traumas and heal. I can't imagine this journey with any other counselor.
Wendy is a great listener & skilled therapist. I’m learning a lot how to manage my emotions with her tips & she has given me practical ways to practice what we discuss. I’d highly recommend her!
Wendy is amazing! I hope she can help you like she’s helped me.
In the short time that I have been speaking with Wendy she has completely transformed my mindset from an unhappy negative one into a positive , happy one. Im so glad to be sharing my journey with Wendy. She's all about the positive vibes ✨
She is amazing!!
Wendy is a phenomenal helper for me and my anxiety that I’ve been dealing with and without her help I feel as if I wouldn’t have made it as far as I have as quick as I have, so I’m very much appreciative of her.
Wendy is empatheric and understanding. She listens attentively and tela me What I need to hear when I need it
I am very happy with my counselling experience. Wendy was able to address my issues right from the start. She helped me reevaluate my situation and come up with better strategies, and I started making progress right away. She also suggested making an appointment with my doctor to see if I might benefit from medication. I've gained a lot from our sessions. I highly recommend her!
i would highly recommend wendy. ive been amazed at how quickly she has understood my situtation and the crux of what is going on. she is kind and understanding and highly perceptive, and for me just the right amount of challenging. im really delighted to have her as my counsellor, im aware it doesnt always happen that you click with your therapist.
We've only been messaging so far her presentation of her views is excellent. She is supportive of my strengtgs.
I love Wendy, she is very supportive and give me a very good advice. Thank youu.
Wendy is a very intuitive and skilled counselor. She was able to identify my needs very quickly and we were off. She gives me multiple options and techniques I can use while always giving me space to express myself. I recommend her whole-heartedly.
Wendy is the first therapist who has ever made me feel seen and heard. She helps challenge me in the most compassionate way which helps me gain a better understanding of what I’m going through. She is kind, intuitive, creative, and understanding. I’m so grateful for her help in making necessary changes in my life that I once thought weren’t possible. She changed my life and my outlook on therapy.
Working with Wendy has been a really good experience; she is knowledgeable and she has been extremely flexible with the ever changing directions that I've wanted my sessions to go in. She remembers specifics about the topics I discussed with her, and she allows me the time to process the ideas that she presents to me.
Wendy is wonderful. She is honest, great listener, with great suggestions. She reaches out when it’s been a few days since hearing from me but yet she’s not pushy and I appreciate that. Even though this is fully remote it’s all a very comforting experience.
Wendy is great. Very thoughtful and sweet, always engaged when we talk, and checks in during the week. She listens well and responds to your concerns and helps gently push you to reflect. I’d definitely recommend her!
Wendy has been absolutely wonderful! She is so kind and really listens to what you have to say. Wendy has helped me to grow and given me some excellent tools to help with this process. An excellent counsellor!
Wendy helped me to create new glasses to look through my issues and concerns.
Wendy is such a pleasure to work with. She is absolutely very-open minded, super responsive. Her approach is warm, inviting, easy-going and not forceful. She helped me navigate through with my father/mother family etc trauma, co-dependant issues. I received a lot of insight trust knowing that it’s safe space at all times. The techniques for my slight social anxiety has improved. Nonetheless, I also love her spiritual unconventional side of therapy techniques that help navigate and tap in to other realms. She help provide me with guidance & fair suggestions. Now I have more healing tools, routines to conquer my day to day.
Wendy has been fantastic. Her and I have been able to connect on multiple different topics so it’s really nice to speak with someone who thoroughly understands and has authentic insight. Thank you Wendy!
